Nature produces an endless array of colors, shapes, and patterns that creatures use to fool the eye. These animals become visible only when they move or are in contrasting surroundings. Creatures may disguise themselves to blend in by changing color on demand or with the seasons, allowing plants to grow on them, or by evolving to look like something else. The chameleon is known for changing its colors, but many other animals have this ability, including bugs, fish, octopuses, foxes, and rabbits. See many of them in this exhibit featuring work by members of the Studio Art Quilt Associates.

Taiwan is a butterfly kingdom, yet butterflies are now rarer there and around the world. How can we turnover such a tragedy? How long have we not encountered butterflies in our living space?

These works blend Taiwan's traditional cultural background with modern quilting elements, showcasing the diversity and innovation of Taiwanese quilting art. The fusion of traditional patterns and contemporary designs, along with rich color combinations, not only highlights quilting as an art form but also tells a deeper story of Taiwan’s history, folklore, and aesthetic life.

Sharyn Resvick’s interest in quilt history led her to create a series of small quilts that represent styles which span over two-and-a-half centuries of quiltmaking.

From her foundational quilted compositions to her bold contemporary experiments, Pasquini’s work reflects a deep engagement with color, texture, and form.
